[Video] [Both Public and Locked]

[tallasaking]

[Public]

[Tyrion is sitting in the Captain's chair of First Breath, something that should strike you all as strange. He also looks absolutely drained - to the point of making him look almost twice his age. He rubs his hands across his face, as if steeling himself, before he finally speaks.]

For those of you who ... who knew Captain Furiosa, and her friend Max, they ... they both perished back on the planet. According to the people I have spoken to, they died in the successful attempt to get the last ship up and running again. Gil and I - Gil and I ... did not realize they had not made it off-planet and ... and well.

Here we are.

[He looks at his hands for a moment, squeezing them into fists, before he looks at the camera again.]

One of my shipmates has made an excellent suggestion - talking about the threats that might face us from our own worlds - considering how familiar our travels seem to be. I suggest meeting up to find a way to continue our survival, and not make others lives ...loss of lives in vain.

[Private to First Breath]

For those of you who know me, I'm the Captain now. For those of you who don't know me - I am Tyrion Lannister, Engineer, and now your Captain. Feel free to come and ... harass me with questions. I'll be sitting here resisting the urge to drink myself into a stupor.

[ Death is such a common thing back home. It sucks, but people die all the time. Here, though, he didn't really think about people being able to. Maggie had apparently come close when she was here, but.. Actually hearing that Max was dead? It's more shocking than it probably should have been. It sinks in a little more that it's still a very real threat they all face. ]

I didn't think the Atroma would let people die.. I didn't know Furiosa, but I knew Max a little. 'm sorry they're gone.

[Tyrion looks at this young man with his one eye, and is suddenly reminded of Bran Stark. Little Bran Stark with his crooked legs and his too large, solemn eyes. He heaved out a long breath, before he nods.]

Neither did I ... but here we are. He was a good man and - and he will be missed. Thank you.

[postocular]

Yeah, he was. He was one of the first people here who talked to me. Said he recognized me from another one of these places. Gave me a knife until I could get my own. He's--was a grumpy asshole, but he was good people.

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion put his head down, before he nodded his head.]

He was. They both were. They came from a place where they had very little to give anyone -- but they gave it anyways.

[postocular]

People with not a lot to give tend to give the most. From what I've seen, anyway.

[ He's quiet for a moment, considering, before he looks back to the communicator and Tyrion on the screen. ]

What kind of threats do you think might come up? [ Carl does not want to think about the problems from his world surfacing where they go. That would be the worst. ]

[onlyanapple]

Hm. Sounds like you need to get absolutely rat arsed, my friend. All the best plans come when you're hammered, anyway.

[He's also DEEPLY CONCERNED about you. ]

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion rubs his face again, with the sort of weariness that is bone deep.]

I ... have to speak to the crew first but yes. After that. We will drink.

[This does not ease Crowley's worries at all. Actual concern even shows on his face, for once not hidden by his usual apathetic expression. ]

Good plan. The bed in the office is free- if you need it.

Re: Video;

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion sighs, rubbing one hand across his face, before he looks up at the man once more.]

... consider it borrowed.

[onlyanapple]

Already considered. Hang in there, huh. This too shall pass...and all that.

[He's still exhausted, and looks it, but Tyrion is a friend. And Khadgar always has energy for the people that are important to him.]

Are you going to be alright, Tyrion?

Re: video

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion looks at Khadgar for a long moment, as if he's not entirely certain the young man is really there or not.]

I ... eventually, I suppose. I just. I never saw this coming.

[touchallthebooks]

It doesn't seem like something you can really prepare for. If you need anything, I'm sure I can grab a shuttle and come over.

Re: video

[tallasaking]

I am fairly certain the only thing I truly need now is more wine than what is good for me.

[A sad, wry smile, before he looks serious once more.]

How are you holding up?

[touchallthebooks]

So long as you don't drink yourself to death, I don't think anyone will argue with you. None of your friends would want to see you leave us too.

[He stretches a little.]

Well enough. I used too much mana getting people off the planet but a couple more days, I should be back to normal.

first breath }

[supertardiness]

[Oh.

Barry knows better than anyone that these kinds of things don't often come away clean, but he hadn't expected the blow to be this personal. He hadn't expected it to be his captain.]

Barry. Allen. I don't think we've met yet. I'm your lab support.

Re: first breath }

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion nodded his head solemnly.]

Mister Allen, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. If you ... if you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask.

[supertardiness]

Of course. Same here, whatever you need, I'll be more than happy to help.

[It's not easy running a ship on your own after your captain is lost - he wants to make sure he's helpful not harmful.]

[tallasaking]

Well, what are you currently working on for the ship?

[Might as well get caught up on the day to day.]

private }

[supertardiness]

[and they'll talk about projects! Mostly because I'm not really sure of anything specific Barry was working on, but it'll eventually end with Barry switching to a private filter]

But mostly I've been recovering from the evacuation mission. Overdoing it with super speed isn't really something you bounce back from quickly, ironically enough.

First Breath

[this_loser]

We should have met under better circumstances...

[He'd fully intended to meet everyone on the ship - there weren't that many of them, and four of the nine were from the same world, so no excuse really. He'd only just met Furiosa. She'd bought one of his photos.]

Uh, hi.

Re: First Breath

[tallasaking]

Well I cannot argue with that ... and I do in fact ... wish that we had met under better circumstances.

[this_loser]

No time like the present, I guess.

[Their poor ship is hurting, and if there is one thing he is sure of, it's that people should stick together, most especially in times like these.]

Name's Prompto. I handle maintenance around here. Is there anything I can do for you?

[tallasaking]

And what a present it is ...

[He sighed, softly, before he sat up a little more.]

Hello Prompto. I have heard of you.

[this_loser]

[He smiles, slight but crooked.]

Have you? That's ... Is that good? Or bad? I guess that depends on from who.
